Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After a week, Bao Zixuan finally sorted out all the information about the car engine and variable box. I already have a plan in mind as to what type of engine I want to develop.

If Heiyun wants to rise rapidly in the automotive field, it must implement overtaking in corners. So judging from the current strength of the major automobile manufacturing giants, they can only work hard on engine fuel consumption. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get a share of the market, and Heiyun Automobile does not have any brand advantage.

Bao Zixuan is preparing to develop a hybrid car, and now it needs to prepare two power systems for the car. In the previous life, this technology was developed by 1. Not only did he use it himself, he also exchanged many practical technologies with other automobile companies through licensing. This is a car engine with huge commercial value.

Hybrid electric vehicles, also known as compound electric vehicles, refer to vehicles equipped with more than two power sources: batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and generator sets of internal combustion locomotives. Currently, hybrid electric vehicles generally refer to internal combustion locomotive generators, plus batteries. Car.

There are many types of vehicle power sources: batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and diesel locomotive generator sets. Currently, hybrid power vehicles generally refer to internal combustion locomotive generators and batteries.

There are currently three main types of hybrid vehicles. One is the "parallel mode" with the engine as the main power and the electric motor as the auxiliary power. This method is mainly driven by the engine, taking advantage of the characteristics of the electric motor to generate strong power when restarting. When the engine fuel consumption is large, such as starting and accelerating the car, the electric motor is used to assist the drive to reduce the engine's fuel consumption. The structure of this method is relatively simple, and only needs to add an electric motor and battery to the car.

The other is the "series and parallel mode" in which the electric motor drives the vehicle only at low speeds, and the engine and electric motor drive together when the speed increases. During startup and low speed, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motor. When the speed increases, the engine and electric motor share the power efficiently. This method requires a power sharing device and a generator, so the structure is complex.

There is also the "series mode" of electric vehicles that only use electric motors to drive. The engine is only used as a power source. The car is driven only by electric motors. The drive system is only an electric motor, but because it also needs to install a fuel engine, it is also a hybrid. A type of automobile.

There are various shortcomings in the currently commonly used fuel engine vehicles. Statistics show that under more than 80% of road conditions, an ordinary car only uses 40% of its power potential, and it will drop to 25% in urban areas. Even more serious It is the emission of waste gas that pollutes the environment. In the 20th century, calls for improving environmental protection in various countries became increasingly louder, and various electric vehicles came to the fore. Although it is generally believed that the future is dominated by electric vehicles, current battery technology problems hinder the application of electric vehicles. Since the energy density of batteries is hundreds of times worse than that of gasoline, which is far from what people require, experts estimate that electric vehicles will not be able to replace fuel-engine vehicles within decades (unless there is a major breakthrough in fuel cell technology).

Reality forced engineers to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds and develop a hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) car. The so-called hybrid power device is a combination of an electric motor and an auxiliary power unit in a car to provide driving force. The auxiliary power unit is actually a small fuel engine or power generator set. To put it figuratively, it is to make the traditional engine as small as possible and let part of the power be borne by the battery-motor system. This kind of hybrid power device not only takes advantage of the long working time and good power of the engine, but also takes advantage of the non-pollution and low noise benefits of the electric motor. The two "fight side by side" and learn from each other's strengths. The thermal efficiency of the car can be increased by more than 10%. Exhaust gas emissions can be improved by more than 30%.

Bao Zixuan knows that the most critical core parts of a hybrid vehicle are the gasoline engine, permanent magnet brushless generator, battery, and the tuning technology for the two engines.

Now Heiyun Group has Philips motor technology, so there is no problem in the research and development of brushless generators with permanent magnets. The research and development of lithium batteries has been completed, and the battery technology can meet the requirements. As for the training system and software for the two engines, this is MIT and there is no difficulty at all. Bao Zixuan is in charge of this gasoline engine research and development. This is his profession and what he wants to do most.

Just do what you say has always been the creed of Heiyun Company, and now there is no board of directors to restrict it. Whatever Bao Zixuan says he should do, he can do it immediately. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the enterprise is highly efficient, but the disadvantage is that once the leader makes a wrong decision, it will cause serious losses to the enterprise. It was the first generation founder who was wise and wise and never made mistakes in decision-making. However, when passing down the inheritance from generation to generation, it is inevitable to encounter prodigal sons, who may bring the enterprise down. This is why many companies hire professional managers after they grow bigger.

Bao Zixuan called John Chambers to his office. Now John Chambers is very busy as the person in charge of Black Cloud America. Bao Zixuan is basically a hands-off shopkeeper, and many regional general managers need to be responsible for many things.

John Chambers thought the boss was calling him about the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show. After all, this is the most important thing for Heiyun Group recently, and the products exhibited this time are the largest. Heiyun booked 800 for this at the exhibition. Square meter large exhibition hall. It costs twice as much per square meter as other businesses. So John Chambers has been following up on the show in Los Angeles.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said to John Chambers: "John, I called you back at this time because there is an important matter that needs to be discussed with you."

John Chambers: "Boss, the construction of the exhibition hall is currently going smoothly. Please rest assured that Manager Hashimoto and I are fully prepared."

Bao Zixuan: "I'm not worried about your abilities at all. I'm calling you back now because I want you to look for American car factories. Heiyun is going to enter the field of mass production cars. This is related to the future development of the company, so you now put the exhibition Leave all the work to Hashimoto-kun. You need to find talents in the automotive field. We need to establish Heiyun's automobile company in the United States in the shortest possible time and find a car factory. Nowadays, the major automobile companies in the United States are having a hard time. It should be possible to buy When we go to a car production plant, we can produce it directly in the United States. Then we will build a car factory in Xiangjiang, specifically for the Asian market."

John Chambers didn’t expect that his boss would suddenly enter the automotive field! Totally unable to keep up with the rhythm. Heiyun Group has its own car customization factory, which can only produce a small number of Cavalier XV every month, and accessories are ordered externally. The automobile giants didn't take it to heart at all. Now that they suddenly want to enter the field of mass-produced cars, they will have to compete with these automobile giants for food.

For the automotive field where the black cloud is not strong, it may not be possible to beat these century-old automotive giants. However, as a professional manager, he only has the right to make suggestions and does not have the right to deny the work assigned by his boss. Seeing Bao Zixuan's serious look, John Chambers knew that he could only complete the tasks assigned by his boss unconditionally.

Because he knew that Bao Zixuan was the kind of person who would complete a decision once he made it. Even if the decision was wrong, he would still execute it. However, so far we have not found any mistakes in decision-making by the boss. It's just that I often suffer during negotiations, but it's much better now.
